Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 70.9% of votes; the other 9 candidates 28.4% between them.

    (27,670 + 9,662) ÷ 52,665 = 70.9% · 14,941 ÷ 52,665 = 28.4%

  2. Turnout of 52.5% was 2.5 pp above the state's median seat (50.0%).

    52.5 − 50.0 = +2.5

  3. The margin widened from 18.8 pp in 1993 to 34.2 pp.

    34.2 − 18.8 = +15.4 pp
